Loneliness hurts at any age. For our teens, who long to be accepted and feel like they belong, that pain can be enough to make them feel hopeless. In today's episode, Mark talks with two young ladies who open up about their struggles with depression, anxiety and seeking self-destructive coping mechanisms. For Mia, who lived through multiple suicide attempts driven by bullying and loneliness, healing came through working with the horses here at Heartlight. Listen in to these insightful interviews!
